Many thanks to all those of you who gave up a warm summer evening to see TAXI TEHRAN.  Even more thanks to the half dozen who braved our AGM afterwards.  The meeting reached double figures for the first time.  We’re taking a break next month and will be back on 26 September with THEEB (15).

In the meantime, Fisher Theatre Cinema has a full August programme which includes four films for children, three of them matinees at 1pm on Tuesday afternoons with admission a mere £3.

PAPER PLANES (U) on Monday 1 August at 7.30pm is an imaginative children’s film about a young Australian boy’s passion for flight and his challenge to compete in the World Paper Plane Championships in Japan.

Animated monster comedy HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA 2 (U) is on Tuesday 2 August at 1pm.

EVEREST (12A), showing on Monday 8 August at 7.30pm, is a British/American adventure based loosely on events which took place on a climbing expedition in 1996.

Disney animation BIG HERO 6 (PG) on Tuesday 9 August at 1pm is briskly paced, action packed and often touching.

THE LEGO MOVIE (U), on Tuesday 16 August at 1pm, boasts beautiful animation, a charming voice cast, good jokes and a surprisingly thoughtful story.

A welcome opportunity to see HECTOR (15) screens at 7.30pm on Monday 22 August. Peter Mullan leads an excellent cast as a homeless man who decides to reconnect with his past in this moving and darkly comic British drama.

Audience favourite FROZEN (PG) screens at 1 pm on Tuesday 23 August, and is an animated Disney musical which tells the story of Anna and her race to save the kingdom of her sister, Queen Elsa.
